Question

A factory can work its employees no more than 6 days a week, and no less than 2 days per

week. Create an inequality to represent the range of days an employee can work. Solve
the inequality to determine the range in hours if the work day is 6.5 hours. Show all of your
work and explain each of your steps. Explain your answer.

Answer 1

13<x<39 (range of hours)

Explanation:

2<x<6 (x is the range of days)

Since each workday is 6.5 hours, multiply everything by 6.5:

13<x<39 (the new x is the range of hours)
